Levee against the tide

In the midst of the waning wildness of the park, some staff have crafted this weathered planking to bank the tide of wood chips, which are a make-shift grooming for the path. There is a sensible progression in this image from wildness, through make-shift, to craft. The craft weathers out. The makeshift will decay back into the fundamentals of the wild. The wild careens on, seducing those gentry who feel its wanton sorcery. They balk, the gentry do, and insist on grooming for their ensorcelled paths.
